JONE (United Press Staff Correspondent) WITH THE ATLANTIC FLEET |OFF THE PANAMA CANAL, Jaa. |19—Three definite remedial meas ures for weaxnesses in the land de |fenses of the Panama canal exposed |by @ crushing “enemy” victory after the first week's mimic war maneu- vers, Were proposed by igh mill tary authorities today. The paper war of 1924, in which specators witnessed all the grand- jeur of movement and dash of real naval warfare and saw the “shat- tered” defending fleet huddled in |Cristobal barbor while the “enemy” rules the Caribbean, proved that the defenses of the canal are in- adequate to protect an emerging fleet from the guns of a numer.cally inferior howtile naval force, The three proposed remedies are: 1, Greater naval patrols strength prevent landing parties, such as ‘nat which, on the morning of the 17th, captured Fort Randolph at Cocosalo, 2. The gun power of Forts Ran- creased to enable these stations £6 hold off an enemy fleet while the Amerivan fleet debouches from the canal 4, Infantry and field artillery vnits should be increased for the purpose of defense against landing parties. This should include better housing, storage and transportation facilities, to accommodate reinforce- ments which could be rushed to bees canal zone in time of war. Tt ts pointea out that implace. ment of the big guns, found neces rary, would take a year under emer= gency orders and five years under the war department's project, which went to congressg@n 1921. providing: for expenditure of $13,000,000, Will Read Ben Har-) Della Crowder Milier, noted tye” |ceum attrac.ion, will read Beh Hur at the Y.
